LHP C.J. Wilson has overcome a shaky first three weeks of the season. Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth on Friday. He has allowed three earned runs in his last 25.1 innings (1.07). Wilson has a 0.88 ERA in 20.1 innings at home this season.

Frank Francisco is back in the role he prefers: closer. That means Wilson's fantasy value has taken a major hit.
Advice: There's at least a silver lining from Rangers manager Ron Washington: "C.J. will close games when Frankie isn't available."

Wilson yielded to Frank Francisco to close out Tuesday's win over the Angels.
Recommendation: Wilson entered the game in the eighth inning, and proceeded to load the bases with recording an out to start the ninth. Assuming Francisco is able to pitch on consecutive days, it appears that Wilson's short run as Texas' closer has ended.
